2007 328i headlight retrofit - Pre-LCI
Hey all, I picked up my E90 about a month ago and was not happy with the halogen lights output so I did an HID projector retrofit and thought I would share the outcome.
I installed the new Morimoto D2S 4.0 projectors and finished it off with an Iris shroud. I wanted a true OEM look and I think these shrouds really helped pull it off. By using the Hyluxtek 35w ballasts I do not have any bulb out warnings. And finally a shot of the light output. I went with 5500k Morimoto bulbs and I think they look great! |

Great job and it looks very OEM.
That's better output than the OEM xenons.

As far as the lens separation goes it can be tricky, the most difficult part is the surround piece that resides inside the lens. When separating the lens from the housing the surround is attached to the housing in the permaseal, but it sits snug into the lens as well. It feels like things are going to crack and break when separating. Once you have done it though it is not so bad to do again. |

Using D2S gives a lot more options for bulbs such as running the OE bulbs or the newer upgrades (CBI, CBH, etc) whereas the H1 limits you.

I think I understand every ordering choice on the TRS website except the harness portion. Which harness did you buy, canbus H7 or HD Relay H7? Thanks!

Why no angel eyes? And you also opted to keep the orange lenses, any particular reason? |
